We remember Phil being very Charismatic and loyal in our church in Taber. We came to know him well through the church and the Live In. He was proud to wear the Live In cross and was a great example for all of us to follow. We were unable to spend much time with him these last few years, but he has been in our minds and prayers. We will keep him and his family in prayer.
